Thinking of you

Good evening everyone, I hope you all had a good day!

I want to share this card, which I made last night, with you. I am really pleased with this card. In fact, I am loving it!! ^_^

For the layout I have used Just Magnolia: Week 97 - Bev's Sketch. Here is the sketch:

I have slightly altered the sketch but you can still see all the elements in it.

For this card, I have used Nellie Snellen's Multi Frames set MFD 005 for my Tilda with rose image. So I will be entering this card in Magnolia Stamp Lovers: Die Cut Challenge. I have coloured Tilda with Copic marker pens and paper piecing her dress with My Mind's Eye- quite contrary Summer paper. I have added glitter glue on both Tilda's wing and rose.  

On the edge of the circle, I have added 3 small flower embellishments with coordinated coloured gems in the middle. This will fit in with Papertake Weekly Challenge: Trio Challenge - 3 of something.

For Totally Tilda Challenge #18: Tilda with Chipboard, I have added this lovely butterfly chipboard on the top right hand corner. I have enhanced the butterfly by adding the clear crystal glitter glue on its inner wings and the red coloured glitter glue on its outer edge.

Here is another close-up photo to show the sentiment from Clearly Hand Stamped designed by 3Birds. As I want a subtle effect for the sentiment, I have stamped it in Brilliance pearlescent Sky Blue ink which blends in well with the blue background paper. A piece of thin pink ribbon and a blue beaded chain were added at the bottom of the card to finish off, I think, beautifully!!

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you like the card as much as I do.

Have a good night~

Celebrate YOU

Good morning! It is a dull Sunday morning here in the midlands of the UK. But hey! It is still weekend so not complaining!! ^_^

We are going to have some Chinese later tonight to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday. So here is the card which I made for him.

I  have used the sketch from the Get Sketchy Card Challenge #78:  

This sketch is simple to follow. It is a clean design and is great for a man's card. Also I love the blue and orange colour combination, they look quite masculine too huh?

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday~

The Sugar Bowl Challenge 54 - Lilian's Sketch

Being a working mum, it is always nice to be able to find a little bit of "ME" time to do the things I love!

I have made this card over the weekend by using The Sugar Bowl Challenge 54 - Lilian's Sketch with the theme of clean & simple: 

In my personal view, clean & simple in card making is not easy. It is a skill of knowing when to stop; knowing which embelishments to pick and add, as there are so many on the market. The temptation is to add them all on one card. So I hope my card here is clean & simple to suit all pink loving princesses! 

    

I have simply embossed 2 pieces of white card for the top and bottom area. Added 3 fabric squares in the middle. Then added two fabric/ ribbon roses on both left and right squares. For the center main image I used Copic Pens to colour Gorjuss Girl and paper piecing the dress. I believe it is a card full of textures!

Have a lovely sleep everyone!
